Abstract
AbstractThis article examines the history of the National Health Service from the perspective of the ‘crises’ it has experienced almost continuously since its foundation in 1948. Three themes are examined: scientific revolution, professional bodies, and, especially, political economy. A concluding discussion suggests that there is scope for rethinking how we envisage the NHS, and the ends it pursues.
